| To B.J. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X5770 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG19.2.26. 10,000 MILES TEST ON 20 HP. X5770 X5840a CAR IN FRANCE It will be at least 2 weeks before the 20 HP. car is ready to leave for France. For its first run it is proposed that it should go to Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence. As regards the particular job you mentioned to me on the telephone. We suggest that it might be arranged for 11-EX car to be used for this purpose. We understand that F.N. is taking this car to France and it might be that the extra run across France could easily be fitted in. On the Experimental Dept. 10,000 miles test cars it would mean a certain amount of dealy to tour across France. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [Watermark: DICKINSON BOND] | ||
